I worked as a dental technician for 30 years but then it had become more of an obligation than a pleasure to work.
So that, at 51 I decided to start over from scratch and thought about this job because I like driving and traveling and this job gives me the opportunity.
I have a wife (more than enough :), two children, one of whom works with me, three cats and a dog…. that’s all… maybe… not sure…
… and she’s my wife since ’84… long time… … and here at the side (below on smartphone) there are my pets… cats and dog…
This is Leo…
This is Ugo…
This is Milo…
It is no secret that family is important to me.
They are the ones who have known us forever and they are the ones who will stand by us through thick and thin.
That is why it is so important to make sure we spend quality time with them.
Quality time does not mean quantity of time.
It means making sure that the time spent together is meaningful and enjoyable.
For example, I reserve some regular time each week to spend with the family.
This can be one evening during the week or a weekend, depending on my schedule.
This time is sacrosanct: no work, no distractions, just quality time together.
I use this time to do something fun together with the family.
This can be games, walks, watching movies, cooking-anything that everyone enjoys and can participate in.
We take turns organizing activities to spend time together-I let each family member choose something they would like to do from time to time.
This helps to ensure that everyone has a chance to do something they enjoy and to keep the family alive
Quality time with the family should be a time to relax and enjoy each other’s company.
There are many reasons why quality time with family is important.
One is that it helps create strong bonds between members.
When families spend time together doing things they enjoy, they can help create positive memories and experiences to share.
This can help make the family unit stronger and more cohesive.
Another reason why quality time with family is important is that it allows families to communicate and connect with each other on a deeper level.me and my family
In today’s fast-paced world, it can be easy for families to get caught up in their own lives and not take the time to really talk and listen to each other.
Spending quality time together can help us stay in touch and communicate more effectively with them.
A few tips for you based on my 37 marriage years…
Make a plan:
When it comes to spending quality time with family, you cannot wing it.
You have to be intentional and make a plan. First, decide how often you want to spend quality time with your family.
This will likely depend on your work schedule and the age of your children. If you have young children, you might aim for once a week.
If you have older children, you might be better off with every other week.
Once you decide how often you want to spend quality time, mark it on your calendar and treat it like any other important appointment.
Choose an activity that everyone enjoys:
Not everyone likes the same activities, so it is important to choose something that everyone in the family enjoys. This can be something as simple as a walk together or a board game. Whatever you choose, make sure it is something that everyone can participate in and that there is no competition.
Eliminate all distractions:
One of the best ways to ensure quality time is to eliminate all distractions.
This means no phones, laptops or TVs, anything that can distract from the moment.
If necessary, set a specific time for everyone to put away devices so that they are present with each other without distractions.
Make conversation:
Conversation is essential when spending quality time with your family.
It is also a great opportunity to bond over common interests or experiences-you may be surprised at how much you have in common!
